    Round 2

    Álvarez is hissing through his teeth as he dashes in with high 1-2s or quick slashing hooks just above shoulder level. Chilemba is following, unfurling his long arm but unable to pin the jab on Álvarez, stunted due to Álvarez being at mid-range and stymied by his lateral movement timed with Chilemba's throws. Exchange at the bell as they both fall in.

    10-9 Álvarez

    20-18 Álvarez

    I want to see Alvarez set up a wider variety of punches. He's a good fighter though.

    Round 3

    Álvarez is still moving in and out, hissing and throwing short combinations. Jabs by Chilemba falling in, attempting to drape himself over Álvarez like flypaper. Chilemba getting popped with short counter right hand solo blasts on the nose, causing him to back out and wince. Chilemba not doing much but jab and walk Álvarez down.

    10-9 Álvarez

    30-27 Álvarez

    Alvarez is not going to be a titlist in this landscape.
